"Hey Jackie? Are you ready? We found out where everyone is and we've got transmissions as well! We're all waiting for you." Aniran asked Jackie, standing outside a web-like design of a door. "Just tell me what it said. I'm not in the mood to show my face. Especially right now." Jackie mumbled loud enough, her voice muffled behind the door. "Alright.. Are you dressed though?" She asked her. "Yea.." Aniran nodded and then walked away, hearing Jackie quietly sob. She sighed as she opened the latch to the cockpit of the cad. "She's not coming out. She did ask me to tell her what the intercom said though, and she is dressed." She informed everyone. "That's good. Who's first?" Ivy asked Maxwell, leaning against the wall. "Take a guess." He said as he pressed a button to play the transmission and then a tv showed up and panels covered the windshield as it was first static but then it showed a woman with orange marks on her face and she looked like she could be in a survival game. She picked up the camera and started speaking.


"Why hello there girls! Yes I know who you are, how you ask? Well let's just say that the alpha is very observant. And word goes round quick here at the Crossfire. Now if you're wondering what we're doing to your friends, don't shit your pants yet. We only have two of them. The other two are somewhere else but lemme just tell you, we're fucking excited on what we are going to do to them!"

She then pointed the camera to Akaito and Oscar trapped under some lava rocks as they're struggling to push the rocks off them. "Now we know that these two cucks are very special to one of you, well two of you. But we're gonna make them so much better than this. They're just so organic. It's gross! It's like how I and my brother used to be!" She pretended to fake gag as Celeste nodded, her arms folded. "Corrupted humans." She said to herself. "If you want them back, come get them. But be quick! Otherwise they won't be themselves anymore. They'll be serving the Alpha. Or better yet..."


"The Prodigy of the Alpha." She then cackled as she took a gun from her waist pocket and shot it to the sky, causing amalgamations of wolves and lions and rocks to charge right at Akaito and Oscar. Their screaming was the last thing heard before the transmission cut off. Layla had her hand to her mouth as Aurora just looked at the TV in shock. "That bitch! Her brother's a bitch! Crossfire's a bitch! Show the next thing before I fucking lose it." Aurora threatened as Maxwell nodded with hesitation and put on the next transmission. It showed Atticus stuck as a ice statue with the same shocked face he had when he yelled to Jackie for help. Everyone had a shocked face, looking at Atticus like this. This was someone that Jackie really liked. They didn't know that but they could tell. Then two familiar girls appeared behind the statue. "Hello there. We are Alaska and Icelen. Both hand ladies to Our Captain. This is your 'prefect' I presume?" Said Alaska with a cold tone. "Well we have him now!~ And he'll be a perfectly cute fit for the Scale! If you want him back-" Icelen was going to finish but then Alaska interrupted and stood in front of the camera. "If you want this organic back, you better hurry. Soon he will thaw and he'll tell us everything we need to know." Icelen pouted and giggled as she turned around and cheered. "Here comes our Captain!" She announced as Alaska turned her head as well and then stood back and so did Icelen as the camera was lifted up and The Captain's face was seen. Everyone was on edge as he chuckled and tilted his head. "And also.. bring the winged girl... I have been DYING- for a family reunion~" He chuckled again as he shut off the camera and Jackie's reflection could be seen as she was standing on top of the latch. Everyone turned around as she had red, puffy eyes and scars on her cheeks. "My tears kept turning into frost. Just put on the last one."

"How long were you there?" Asked Jordan, worried about her. "I heard the words cucks and you do remember this is a intercom thing. It was being broadcasted everywhere in this damn Cad." She said to Maxwell, her voice all shaken and hoarse. "Right well, this one isn't a video. It's a audio. But just to let you know, it's not pretty." He put on the last transmission. All that could be heard was the agonized breathing of Brooke. Everyone stayed quiet as they couldn't find words to say as they knew what was happening to her. She was dying. The transmission ended and Maxwell sighed. "I told you it wasn't pretty." His mood cheered up then as he got to the main bit of the controls of the Cad. "Alright! Now who are we saving first?!" He asked as everyone looked at him with shock and suspicious faces. Celeste brushed it off and sighed. "I suggest that we save them by the order of the transmission that we watched. And also that the way they're being corrupted, it'll take longer for that guy to thaw and become fully corrupted. So let's say the two 'cucks' as that woman said." She said to everyone as they nodded and Jackie looked away, saddened that Atticus isn't going to be saved first. "Alrighty then!"



"To Karman we go then.."
